crack_van. My response was of course 'Excuse me?' because I'd had no idea. Anyway, I asked for linkage, and was duly given the line, whereon the following wonderful review was posted as to why one must read Harms Way:
"Harm's Way" is the first in Cedargrove's alternate season 5, written before "Search and Rescue" aired. And it's epic. As you read the story, you can practically see everything happening like you're watching it on your TV.
The rescue of Sheppard's team is complicated by the arrival of the Wraith. They commence an all out assault, and the battle scenes are chaos and desperation and adrenalin and frantic energy that has you on the edge of your seat.
I really like the direction Cedargrove takes with Michael in developing his bond with Teyla. This is no cardboard villain just trying to steal Teyla's baby to perfect his experiments. He cares about her, is protective of her, caters to her comfort, but at the same time is determined to fulfill his goals with the hybrids while trying to build a trust between Teyla and himself.
Cedargrove also includes that hypnotic control of Michael's and explores Wraith telepathy. It's fantastic. And her Queen is all kinds of scary awesome. Todd is also featured and is his manipulative, sneaky, Magnificent Bastard self.
Harm's Way
The series is on-going. So far seven episodes are complete and the eighth is half done.
It made me really happy to read that, and you can be sure I will be thanking this person on their entry. :) If you want to see the entry in it's rightful place on the comm. you can go here and hopefully they will have cleared up their mistake in the html in that entry by the time you see it.
